What does centimeter mercury (0°C) measure?

It is a unit representing the pressure exerted by a 1-centimetre column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity.

Where is foot water (60°F) [ftAq] commonly used?

This unit is used in low-pressure measurements such as HVAC draft, water filter pressure, and laboratory head pressure evaluations.

Can this conversion be used for all pressure conditions?

It is intended for standard temperature and gravity conditions; variations may require more specific adjustments.
